Rhetoric and Reckoning in the Ninth Century
A modest man of great accomplishments, Walahfrid was a fine poet, teacher, abbot, gardener, liturgist, and diplomat. His personal notebook reveals that he loved arithmetic and astronomy. For a decade, he tutored Carolus iunior, youngest son of Judith and Ludwig der Fromme, who became emperor Charles the Bald. On two occasions, Walahfrid found and transcribed formulae and explanations of time series, often correcting them. By identifying Walahfrid's sources and scripts, Professor Stevens is able to trace his life and scholarship, as they relate to Carolingian politics and schools in the first half of ninth-century Europe.

Zwischen Niederschrift und Wiederschrift
Der Band "Zwischen Niederschrift und Wiederschrift" versammelt die Beitrage von zwei in Wien abgehaltenen Symposien 2003 "Zeit und Vergangenheit" und 2004 "Hagiographische Uberlieferung im Fruhmittelalter", die unter einer gemeinsamen theoretischen und methodischen Fragestellung konzipiert wurden. So werden die Spannungsverhaltnisse zwischen handschriftlicher Uberlieferung und Editionstext, Einzeltext und Sammlung, Motiv und Genre untersucht, denen man bei den zahllosen Formen von Schrift und Wiederschrift hagiographischer und historiographischer Quellen des Fruhmittelalters begegnet. Seither hat sich mit den Teilnehmern der Tagungen und mit vielen Kollegen ein ausserst fruchtbarer Diskussionsprozess uber diese Problematik ereignet, der nun vorgelegt wird.
